this picture shows federal deficits, and the few years of surpluses, the deficit has come down very markedly over the past several years. from about $1.4 trillion or nearly 10% of gdp in 2009, to an estimated roughly $500 billion, or about 3% of gdp in 2014 under current law. we think deficit will fall again a bit next year but will then rise. you can see, though, the deficits over the next decade stay close to 3% of gdp. which is essentially their average share of gdp over the past 40 years. but that similarity to the past is worth noting, but also in some ways, masks two important aspects of the budget that will be very different than they've been in the past. so one of those aspects is the composition of federal spending. in this picture, these bars show social security spending as a share of gdp, 40 years ago, and our estimate for this year under current law, and then our projection for ten years from now. and you can see growth in social security exceeding growth in the economy. so a rising share of gdp being devoted to social security benefits. and that arises, of course, over the next
